The tansy, goldenrod and evening primroses are all blooming in the waste spaces, so Fall is just around the corner. But today I noticed a wildflower I'd never see before--also a yellow, with tiny flowers that goes to seed like a dandelion. It took a bit, but I finally identified it on line.

Very pretty. This is one of the very rare instances I wish I had a phone so I could take a picture for you.

This bright purple flower is cow vetch. It is a wild flower in the pea family, grows up the stem of whatever is around, like the daisies in a field, like this:...

We look at the science.While many of the nutrients we eat are released in a convenient liquid form (which is why diluted urine is great for immediate use in the garden or compost pile), the residual bulk and nutrients are delivered in a somewhat more problematic form: poop. Why problematic? Well, it's heavy, bulky, and smelly, but,...

First, I'm at my parents house. They're retired. My mother has built this admittedly beautiful garden on the side of a pond in the strata in which they own a unit. It's about two square yards, I'm sure, but it occupies months of her time. Every day, she's fussing with it, having my poor father dig up her plants to move them a foot here and a foot there. It's pretty, I have to admit, but TBH, I'd rather be drinking whisky instead....
